QuoteIt'll be interesting to see what the TfWM bus maps look like, when this is all finished.

Is there any roads completely losing bus service?
In Dudley borough, South Road (Norton), High Street/Market Street/Lower High Street/Crown Lane (Stourbridge) and Leys Road (Brockmoor) are all set to lose bus services as the 251 was to be replaced by the 25 Stourbridge - Dudley service (in favour of the 250 routing)

Belle Vale (Cradley) is set to lose buses as the 17H is getting withdrawn

Banner Lane/Colman Hill (Cradley) is set to lose buses as the 28 is getting withdrawn

Union Street (Lye) is set to lose bus services as the 298/299 is getting merged into the 142/142A

Beech Lane/Love Lane/Worcester Lane/Redlake Road (Norton is set to lose buses as the 10A/C are getting withdrawn.

Sedgley Road East (Tipton) is also set to lose buses with the cuts to the 42

Services with increases in frequency: 1, 4/4A, 7, 11A/11C, 14, 28 (M-F), 35, 61, 63 and 72

Surprised at that to be honest. Especially given all of those have a pretty high frequency or combined frequency already.
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

A lot of frequencies were reduced in December.

Any clue about who's taking over the 27/27A (wolves - dudley) or 17 (Stourbridge-Dudley)?  Minor changes to WN 15/16 too.

I remember the original 42 aka the 402 and it was run to central avenue Tipton from West Bromwich.

Hopefully having one operator for 42 and 43 will make things better for passengers.
